Data

Here I share (freely) data I have collected with everyone. This includes data I haven’t analysed yet (in this case, please contact me at didier.ruedin@unine.ch): If it’s something I’ve been planning to do with these data, let’s collaborate. If it’s something else, good for you! A citation would be appreciated.

Note: I haven’t prepared all the documentation yet. If you can’t wait, send me an e-mail.

Meta-Analysis on Ethnic Discrimination in Hiring

Political Claims Analysis

These are the data by the SOM project. The original data are already freely available from the project, but I have cleaned the original data extensively, and enriched them with a few variables. This extension includes the gender and ethnicity (Western/not-Western) of claims-makers as coded by myself. The second datafile contains aggregates by country-years for several variables, and is also enriched them with new variables.

several additional datasets by the SOM project (demographics, legal situation, political opportunity structures) are freely available: on the SOM project website

N=4.7k, political claims on migration in newspapers, extension 2010 to 2018, mostly 1 newspaper per country. The extension is only partial in some countries; coding and data cleaning continues. Previews will be available. [TBA]

Political Participation in the Canton of Geneva, 2015

These are data on political participation and voting at the municipal level in the Canton of Geneva, 2015. I have designed the questionnaire together with Rosita Fibbi, and we have re-used many questions from the Swiss Electoral Study to ensure comparability. We have also added variables we thought are relevant for the (non-) participation of immigrants and their children. The raw data are on FORS, the cleaned data on Dataverse:

Immigrants in Swiss Politics (Experimental)

I have started to collect information on politicians in Switzerland who are immigrant, or descendants of immigrants. There is no system in the collection of these data, I simply jotted down when I came across relevant information.

Attitudes to Immigrants in Switzerland

We have re-run some of these questions in 2020 using an online panel. [TBA]

Party Positions on Immigration

The basic data on Austria, Belgium, Switzerland, Spain, France, Ireland, the Netherlands, and the UK are included in the supplement of the Party Politics paper. Laura Morales and I also (expect to) have data on Germany, Italy, and Greece. I have additional data on Austria, Switzerland, Ireland, South Africa, the UK, and the US. Coding continues; previews will be available. [TBA]

South African Survey: Trust, Representation, Immigration

I have combined many things in this survey in South Africa. Using random quotas, these data are supposedly representative of the general population. There are two trust games, questions about political participation and representation, including two experiments on skin colour and gender, a question on who immigrants are, a feeling thermometer to mixed-race people using blended images, a question on fitting a team focusing on skin colour and gender, and the obligatory questions on the respondents. I also included questions on the composition of respondents’ network, multiple identity, racial segregation, risk aversion, and norms (by Heiko Rauhut).

N=1378, South Africa, July 2017. All information will be added on Dataverse [TBA]

US Survey: Trust, Immigration

This survey re-uses many questions from the South African survey, adapted for the US. There’s the same trust game, a feeling thermometer to mixed-race people, questions on redistribution (by Sergi Pardos-Prado), a question on who immigrants are, along with questions on the respondents.

N=1353, US, November 2017. All information will be added on Dataverse [TBA]

Swiss Survey: Trust, Immigration

This survey includes a trust game in Switzerland, and questions on who immigrants are, alongside questions on respondents.

N=436, Switzerland, November 2016. All information will be added on Dataverse [TBA]

Trust Game Pilot

In this survey, I tested the trust game in Switzerland using an online panel. There are more extensive manipulation and comprehension checks than in the surveys above, and a limited set of questions on the respondents.

N=231, Switzerland, November 2016. All information will be added on Dataverse [TBA]

Labour Market Vignettes, Switzerland

Following a survey with students on attitudes to minority groups, I included a vignette experiment on hiring discrimination. The result suggests no discrimination. I also run the experiment with a sample of the general population. The results suggest no discrimination, but I don’t trust them.
